How to play
RIVALSDLE is a daily guessing game in the spirit of Wordle and LoLdle, set in the Marvel Rivals universe. Every day you get four independent puzzles, one for each mode. The answer is the same for everyone that day, and everything resets at your local midnight, so you start fresh each morning. There is no game over: guesses are unlimited, and your score is simply how many tries it took you. The fewer, the better.
The basics, shared by every mode
You play by typing a hero or map name into the search bar, which autocompletes as you type so you never have to spell anything perfectly. After each guess, the game gives you feedback and gets you closer to the answer. When you win, you can share your result as an emoji grid and keep your daily streak alive. You can also replay any past day from the archive.
Hero
Guess the hero of the day, and a grid compares seven of their attributes to your guess:
- Role, Power source, Team, Gender and Difficulty: green means an exact match, red means different. Some attributes can also turn orange, which means you are close (for example the same team family, but not the exact team).
- Release season: the cell shows the season and the year the hero joined Marvel Rivals. Green: same season. Orange: the right year, but not the right season. The arrow tells you whether the hidden hero was released later or earlier than your guess.
- First comic appearance: this shows green for a match, plus an up or down arrow telling you whether the hidden hero first appeared in comics later or earlier than your guess.
By reading the colors and the arrow across a few guesses, you can narrow the roster down to the right hero.
Map
Guess the map of the day from a close-up image. Each wrong guess zooms the image out a little more, revealing new details and landmarks until the location becomes recognizable.
Silhouette
A full-body hero render starts as a dark, heavily blurred shadow. Every wrong guess lifts the blur and the darkness step by step, until the hero becomes clear.
Icon
One hero ability icon is hidden behind a grid of tiles. Each wrong guess removes a few tiles, uncovering more of the icon until you can recognize whose ability it is.
Bonus modes
On top of the day's four puzzles, two bonus modes take the Hero and the Map under harder rules. Each has its own puzzle of the day, its own stats and its own share. A bonus win keeps your streak going, but only the four classic modes clear the day. Their past days can be replayed from the archive too.
Hero Challenge
Same roster as the Hero mode, but a different hero every day and a harder rule: a guess uncovers a single cell of its row, out of seven. The rest come with the following guesses, on every row at once. You reason on partial feedback for several turns, and each guess becomes a real probe rather than a full answer. Unlimited guesses, no game over, and stats kept separate from the classic mode.
Map Challenge
Same map pool as the Map mode, but a different map every day and three extra levers: the crop starts much closer, the colour is almost entirely drained on the early guesses, and the dezoom runs over ten steps instead of six. Colour is the first thing you read on a map, so holding it back changes the whole reading. Twelve possible framings, unlimited guesses, no game over.
Streaks and stats
Solving at least one puzzle a day keeps your streak going. The streak is shared across all four modes and shown on the home page, along with your daily progress. Each mode also keeps its own stats and a distribution of how many tries your wins usually take.
Playing with friends
You can create a private group and compare your daily scores with friends using a shared code, or start a private versus match over one or several modes. No account is required, just a nickname.
That is everything you need. Pick a mode, make your first guess, and see how few tries it takes you today.
